Have you ever pondered the question “Who Are You?” The question itself is multi faceted. Depending on the person asking the question, the situation you are in, or even the moment in time in which it is being asked may constitute a different answer. Who we are is up to us and the choices we make throughout our lives. Who we are is the person we have become, and the person we are going to be. Who we are is solely up to us. We are the authors of our own stories, which in turn makes us the creators of who we are. No one else has the power to create who we are. People do have affects and influences on us, but we are the ones who ultimately make the decisions of who we are going to be in this life.
Have you really given much thought to who you are? I know that many of us had dreams and aspirations of becoming something when we grew up. Did you become what you set out to be? Are you the person you thought you would be at this point in your life? If not, what caused the change in direction? If you are not the person you wanted to be, or if you are wanting to be someone else it’s not too late. Because you are the author of your life story, you have the power to change it.
We all have a story, what’s yours? Amazingly, a lot of us have similar stories even though we might not think so. Do you come from a broken family? Have you moved multiple times throughout your life? Have you had multiple jobs trying to find the one that works best for you? How have you been with relationships? Are you having a hard time finding that special one, or have you found them and are living your best life? Many of us have experienced the dark side of life, and that truly affects who we become.
The good news is, despite what we have experienced in our lives we can over come those hardships. We are the ones that dictate our fate remember. We are the authors of our stories, not those that try to hijack them by creating havoc in our lives. If you are one of the many who has had someone affect your life negatively hopefully, you have been able to overcome that experience and move on. If not, I hope you are working through it, either on your own or by seeking help from a professional. But know you can overcome those horrible experiences and take your life back. You have the power not them to write the ending of your story.
Pending on where you are at in your life, you might have many more chapters to write in your story, or you may be getting closer to writing the ending. Either way, always remember you are the one in control and that you are the author and finisher of your fate.
